Building 24 Kitchen and Bar

We hosted a Celebration of Life for my father at Building 24 in the event space yesterday. Coleen was so easy to work with, quickly responded to any questions, and helped us carry out a warm and loving event. The food was beautifully displayed, the staff were warm and welcoming, and the atmosphere/room helped pull it all together. Thank you for all your help and definitely recommend your location to anyone planning an event. ❤️

I will say this your team is amazing and probably the best in berks. Jack, page and bailey also make you feel ao welcomed from the minute you walk through the doors. They are careing and friendly and truly make mine and my friend Saturday nights beyond great. And lastly the drinks and food are top notch. Never a disappointment and will always be my go to place.

Good place to stop by for a drink or two—although I can tell some people have many more. We weren’t impressed with the food. This might be a personal preference, but after having dinner here twice, we stopped eating there altogether. The bar gets busy on weekends, and there’s a DJ playing music, which is nice and adds to the atmosphere. That said, the bartenders don’t come across as very welcoming. . I’m not sure if they’re too busy, tired, or frustrated, but you shouldn’t expect much smiling or friendly attention. Correction, Kyle who is no longer there was super friendly My usual drinks are silver tequila with lime or grapefruit juice, or wine. I always end up ordering wine here—not because I like their wine selection, but because I’ve noticed poor hygiene when drinks are prepared. For example, limes are placed directly into drinks, then hands are wiped on jeans or shirts, followed by touching the next glass by the rim, grabbing another lemon, and wiping hands again on clothing. At some point, you almost expect them to lick their fingers and keep going. If that doesn’t bother you, this might still be a good spot for you. It’s in a good location and has plenty of parking.

Everything had really good flavor but I asked for a rare steak that came out well done. I normally don’t send things back but I had to and I told them to cook it as rare as they can but it still came out medium rare. The server was really nice and attentive. crab cake definitely isn’t lump but It was average from a non seafood restaurant.

The food was way above average and two of the four dishes we ordered were amazing. The scallops with squash was truly delicious. The drinks we ordered were also pretty dam good. The service was also one of the strong points of this location, really attentive and polite. The food even come out quickly, even though the place was relatively busy. Really impressed with the staff. The only knock was finding parking, but that's typical for the area. I will definitely be returning, and recommend the place without reservations.

Food is really good tho they took to long for everything but the drink which also were really good and very well done. Beer selection is also good

First of all, without further ado, or any ado for that matter, a hearty❤️shout out to four of the best bartenders who know their craft, their customers, and the meaning of the word comraderie. They know how to pour, what to pour, and who to pour it for. I never name names, but in this case, I will set a new precedent. Kudos to Kyle, Paige, Bailey, and Ryan. Each of whom, it would seem, come from different worlds and life experiences. All of whom are going places, be it in academic education, hospitality, entrepreneurship, or perhaps being the best at building a conventional life with style, love of life, family, and humanity in the aggregate. Dare I say it, the last of a dying breed. I've met some of the most fun and prolific characters at 24 who've made me feel at home in Pennsylvania, although I am from afar, i.e. Philly . The kind of folks who go out of their way to say hello as they make their way to the bar. Sometimes, after work, I will peruse the menu and discover some great interpretations of salads (Caesar) and snacks (Truffle fries) that hit the spot and keep me busy enjoying one of my favorite past times: eating. And from what I've seen at various and sundry tables at various times through the course of any given evening, this kitchen delivers hearty inspired entrees sure to give you reason to give positive word of mouth with regard to culinary talent. For myself, I'm going in - and intend to try nearly every item on the menu. One of the many reasons to make this establishment one of your (and my) weekly go-to's. See you at the bar. P.S. Get here to hear the mixes and musical machinations of Vinny, aka DJ Image, on just about every Friday night. (Yo Vin 🤩👍!)

Best meal out I've had in a while. Smoked wings were great and the brussel sprouts were unreal.
